 Mexico’s hot spot invades the States with a menu full of surprises
Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico –
Señor Frog’s, famous from Cancun to the Bahamas for bars brimming with
“yards” of exotic libations, has officially entered the U.S. with new
watering holes and restaurants, the first of which opened in Myrtle
Beach in June. The second and third locations are planned for
Honolulu and Las Vegas in 2006.
Not only is the mischievous
reptilian about to flood the United States with his Mexican mayhem, but
he’s celebrating his American openings with a brand new menu adorned
with authentic Mexican twists and turns.
"The creation of the
new menu was like doing the Mambo,” said Jorge Hinojosa, director of
development for Cancun-based Grupo Anderson’s. “We took two steps
back, narrowing it down to our popular items; two steps to the right by
adding a "twist" to some of the items; and two steps to the left with
new touches to create something completely unique.”
Entirely
new and never before seen in America are Aqua Tacos -- lettuce wraps
filled with cactus salad and chunks of chicken, topped with a green
tomatillo sauce and guacamole. A bird of a different feather
entirely are Chicken Wings – traditional chicken wings capable of
flying high as an eagle raised on chipotle bleu cheese dressing – and
watch out for the one that “tries to put up a fight”.
A touch of
something different spices up almost every dish. Cilantro pesto
tops the traditional cheeses in the Quesadillas, and Jalapeno Poppers
are served with papaya ketchup. Chipotle garlic mayo is on the
zesty side of Pan Seared Crab Cakes.
Of course, tortillas are
there in many forms, even as Tortilla “No Chicken” Soup and as a crazy
Mexican “Fettuccini” in a cilantro cream sauce. After being
marinated in chili sauce, “Te Killa” Grilled Shrimp are to die for,
while Roasted Chicken is first marinated in lime juice just to be
different, and the Pan-Seared Mahi filet is crusted with plantain
flakes.
Call it American barbecue or Mexican barbacoa,
but ribs and chicken in Caramba! Chipotle BBQ sauce get a special tang
you just won’t find at home. Señor Frog’s Po’ Boy is Po’ Juan,
served as chipotle mayo tossed seafood on a toasted baguette, and his
Philly Steak takes on some extra spice and becomes a south of the
border Beef Chapata.
If some things are better left alone, it’s
certainly not his Grilled T-Bone served with chorizo potato purée,
mixed vegetables and homemade tequila mushroom sauce. And in a
raucous place like Señor Frogs, the only thing silent are the Soft
Tacos, with beef or chicken, but without the crunch.
Folks
who know and love Señor Frog’s for its spontaneous and interactive
entertainment and unique line of clothing will still find it. But
the fun and festivities will have to move over for the food as Señor
Frog sets out to conquer America.
